The oogonia develop distinct stout and long stalks. Sometimes these stout stalks also contain a number of eggs. The number of eggs in oogonia varies from 1-20 or even more. On the basis of these remarkable differences to the allied genus Dictyuchus, the new genus is described with its type species.
